New Year’s advice is loud.


Change everything. Fix yourself. Fix your kids. Try harder. Do more.


But if you’re parenting a child from difficult beginnings, that messaging doesn’t inspire, does it? I think it overwhelms. In this episode of Unmuted Love, Ce is offering a radically different way to approach the New Year. This is not a resolution episode. Those have been done before, but not this year. This is an acceptance moment. If you are tired of starting each year feeling behind, this will help you feel good about where you are right now.

From Ce Eshelman:

Are you searching for a community of parents who will get you; who offer an attentive ear and open arms in the worst of times; who give you a standing ovation for the monumentally big "small steps" forward you make with your child? It is so painful to walk the jagged trail of this parenting journey alone and no one is ever alone in the Love Matters Parenting Society Therapeutic Parent Program. You will feel seen, understood, and actually deeply cared for. We know it as "love." The Society is a virtual program for parents of children who experienced trauma and others who support them or work with them professionally. You don't have to wait a minute longer. We are right here waiting for YOU!
